225g demerara sugar

850ml malt vinegar

12 black peppercorns

Method

Cut the marrow into small pieces, put in a bowl and sprinkle liberally with 2 tbsp salt. Cover and leave for 12 hrs.

Rinse and drain the marrow, then place in a preserving pan or large saucepan with the shallots, apples, sultanas, ginger, sugar and vinegar. Tie the peppercorns in muslin (or put into a small enclosed tea strainer) and place in the pan. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring from time to time, until the consistency is thick.

Leave to settle for 10 mins, then spoon into sterilised jars (see tip below), put on the lids and label. Will keep for a year in a cool, dark place.

I don't think I could recommend this chutney, something doesn't seem right. I'm not a complete novice but it just looks wrong. Final test will be in the tasting.

I used this recipe in September to make courgette & apple chutney. Stored it in a dark cupboard for 3 months and a bit. Opened the first jar this week - delicious!
This was my first attempt at chutney and while cooking process was a bit smelly (too much vinegar?), I am very pleased with the end result.

Used this recipe as a base then added 2 cloves of garlic, 1tsp mixed spice, 4tsp yellow mustard seeds and 2tsp salt. I also substituted courgettes for marrow but didn't follow the first step, makes a very good chutney.

This is a fantastic chutney. It goes with most things. Not too difficult to make either.
